Stroll along the quaint streets of Downtown Traverse City and enjoy a pleasant day of summer shopping in northern Michigan.

Celebrate our region's abundant cherry orchards, visit one of several renowned wineries, or take a quick road trip to the picturesque fishing town of Leland. You can even take a guided stream fishing trip or a charter-boat fishing excursion on the Great Lakes. And if you haven't already heard, world-class golf in the form of three exceptional courses awaits your arrival:  The Bear by Jack Nicklaus, The Wolverine by Gary Player, and Spruce Run.

Winter Activities
"Lake Effect Snow" is a term that Grand Traverse Resort & Spa knows well. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan's East Grand Traverse Bay, the Resort benefits from abundant snow throughout winter, often times starting as early as November and lasting into April. To keep "cabin fever" at bay we offer a wide range of fun outdoor winter activities featuring cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice skating. Bring your own gear or rent ours at Adventure North Outfitters® in the Resort's Gallery of Shops.

The Resort offers up to two kilometers of cross-country skiing on property, and guests have access to 75 kilometers along the nearby Vasa Pathway, plus a more challenging backcountry experience at the Sand Lakes Quiet Area.

Grand Traverse Resort & Spa also offers an ice skating rink on property. Horse drawn sleigh rides are available at the nearby Hoxsie Farm and may be reserved by calling our Concierge Desk at 231-534-6430, plus there are nearly 200 miles of groomed snowmobile trails accessible from the Resort.
